The Apoqee™ Vault Suspension System is intended for use in vaginal vault suspension to treat pelvic organ prolapse.
The Apogee™ Vault Suspension System consists of needles and connectors used to pass a polypropylene mesh for support of the vaginal vault.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary submission for the AMS Apogee™ Vault Suspension System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for regulatory approval, rather than detailing a specific study to prove the device meets pre-defined acceptance criteria with performance metrics.
Therefore, many of the requested sections (Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, sample size, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, effect size, standalone performance, type of ground truth for test set, training set details) cannot be fully populated from the provided text.
Here's an attempt to answer based only on the information available in the given text:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in numerical terms. Instead, it states: "The mesh used in the Apogee™ Vault Suspension System has been tested in accordance with FDA's Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for a Surgical Mesh and has been shown to be equivalent to the listed predicate devices. In addition, the other components have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices in terms of mechanical performance and biocompatibility."
This implies that the acceptance criteria revolved around demonstrating equivalence to predicate devices in the following areas:
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Equivalence to predicate devices for surgical mesh in accordance with FDA guidance. | "has been shown to be equivalent to the listed predicate devices." |
| Substantial equivalence in mechanical performance for other components. | "have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices in terms of mechanical performance." |
| Substantial equivalence in biocompatibility for other components. | "have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate devices in terms of ... biocompatibility." |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
Not provided in the document. The text mentions "tested," but no details about the sample sizes or the nature (retrospective/prospective, country of origin) of the data, if any clinical data was involved. The testing appears to be primarily bench or material-based to demonstrate equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. The provided text describes tests for material equivalence and mechanical performance, not diagnostic performance requiring expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in a clinical context.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. This concept applies to studies involving human interpretation or clinical endpoints, which are not detailed here.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic device where MRMC studies are typical.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used
For the mesh, the ground truth was established by adherence to "FDA's Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for a Surgical Mesh" and its comparison to the characteristics of the predicate devices. For other components, ground truth for mechanical performance and biocompatibility would be based on established engineering standards and biological safety assessments, again likely benchmarked against predicate devices. No specific "ground truth" in the clinical sense (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) is mentioned as being directly used in this summary.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not a machine learning model where a training set would be relevant.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable (as above).

Dear Ms. Linke:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 22, 2004.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
